What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I'm just gonna keep my billies and toytec coils when I have to rebuild my kings. swap em in until I get my coil overs back. And living in the south we don't get much snow so rusting isn't a big deal

 

frame rust is a joke around these parts unless you leave your truck on the beach at high tide or parked on a boat ramp for a couple days

 

I only have surface rust and thats it. Once I'm out of this apartment I'm taking it down haha

 

Isn't that a dead one in your avatar?

 

Well it is called hunting for a reason

 

So you don't let them go or you do?

 

The female get let go, if it's a good some male they maybe not.

 

They are not mine for sale, mine are waiting to be turned into an air powered spud gun when I get around to it. I think those are actually the newer version. I suppose the point is that in 4 years the shocks were deteriorated to a point that they needed virtually everything replaced. After a complete rebuild it will be the same story in 4 more years.

Those ones are the newer option as SAWs used to have red springs they switched to eibach 4-5 years ago... Look at the pitting on the shaft that will quickly eat a wiper seal, the tubes are rough probably usable. You can see the corrosion on the wiper seal housing who knows what the internals look like.

I'm not saying they are bad I'm sure that they perform a bit better. But ARB sure makes a good product and I don't think the hassle outweighs the benefit. I would rather throw the extra $500 at disc brakes or something.

 

What do you do with them when you kill them?

 

Some people eat them some people just mount them.

 

Is the hide worth anything? Idk there is even a market for mountain lion hide.

 

Probably not, maybe for like bars in the city or something, most people want to show what they've accomplished them selves.

 

I don't see the point in killing just to kill???

 

Some people eat it. Lot of people do it cause they eat a lot of deer. Quite a few reason.

 

Come to Colorado. Coyote, limit of 10 per day, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, any method of take. That is one hated canine.
Fun to hunt too.

 

Me neither unless it's a serious pest. Like coyotes. Even though you can skin them and get the fur and sell it. Alot are to lazy too. I feel like if I didn't skin them I'm just wasting my time.

 

Wtf? They put a limit on the things??? Guess if you can hunt at night then you have too. We can hunt at night. Just not with lights or night vision. Have to use the moonlight.

 

I didn't say there is never a reason, if there is an over populated area, they are killing live stock or something of that nature.
But just to kill to be killing or for a trophy is wrong I don't care who or what you are.

 

I agree. Pisses me off when stupid rednecks go out in the woods to just shot stuff. Not even caring about anything. They just want to kill something.
